I know no internet connection used to be solution, but I thought there was an option to bypass the ms account requirement during setup for the last couple years?

Its slowly became harder from update to update over the last couple years of updates, and completely removed under normal circumstances in one of the last major updates.

AFAIK leaving the ethernet unplugged is the only way to do it now.

I did it recently by accident. When it asked for an email address I entered fuck@off.com with the C word as the password.

This obviously failed as a legitimate Microsoft login, but it did, very handily, offer the option to create a local account instead.
